GARMENT HANGER Filed Dec. 5, 1938 lNVE TOR Patented Sept. 5, 1939 UNITEDSTATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

My invention relates to garment hangers and has as one of the principalobjects thereof the provision of a garment hanger so constructed andarranged whereby a number of garments of different types may be reliablysup-ported on said hanger.

Another object of my invention is to provide a garment hanger of thecharacter described which is simple in construction, durable in use,efficient in operation and economical in manufacture.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the followingdescription, appended claims and annexed drawing.

Referring to the drawing wherein like reference characters designatelike parts throughout the several views:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention.

Figure 2 is an end elevation thereof, partly in section.

In practicing my invention, I provide a garment hanger 5 comprising coatand trouser supporting sections 6 and I respectively. The trousersupporting section I is fashioned with a longitudinally extending arm 8fashioned intermediate the ends thereof with an upwardly extending rightangularly disposed portion 9, the latter, adjacent the upper end, beingformed with a pair of spaced bearings Ill between which is hinged, bymeans of a pivot pin II extending therethrough, a tongue l2 fashioned onthe upper end of a vertically extending portion I3 of an axiallylongitudinally extending arm l4 adapted for action with the arm 8 toclamp therebetween the ends of a pair of trousers or the like. A ring I5is slidably mounted about the portions 9 and I3 whereby to effectclamping of the trousers between the arms 8 and I4.

The coat section 6 of the hanger is constructed of a length of wireformed with a lower horizontally extending bar l6 disposed within agroove 8a formed in the lower face of the arm 8. The bar I6 isintegrally connected to a pair of upwardly converging coat support barsIT by means of arcuate shaped ends l8, the upper ends of which aredisposed within grooves 81) formed in the end faces of the arm 8.

The upper ends of the bars I! are angularly disposed toward each otherand terminate in upwardly extending portions twisted together andfashioned with a hook l9 whereby to attach said hanger to a supportingmember (not shown).

The upper face of the portion 9 is fashioned with a longitudinallyextending groove 20 in which is seated the upper angular disposed endsof the bars I? and the lower bar l6 of the section 6 coacts with theupper angular disposed ends of the bars I! to securely maintain thetrouser section 1 clamped therein for support by the hook 19.

From the foregoing it will be apparent that I have provided a simple andefficient garment hanger capable of supporting coats and the like on onesection thereof and of having clamped thereto trousers or the like onthe other section thereof and in a manner whereby the coat sectioncoacts with the trouser section to maintain the latter in connectedrelation therewith for support thereby.

It is obvious that the invention is not confined to the herein describeduse therefor as it may be utilized for any purpose to which it isadaptable. It is therefore to be understood that the invention is notlimited to the specific construction as illustrated and described, asthe same is only illustrative of the principles of operation which arecapable of extended application in advance forms, and that the inventioncomprehends all construction within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. A hanger of the class described, comprising, a trouser supportingsection having a pair of horizontally extending pivoted arms forclamping and supporting trousers therebetween and one of said armsformed with a longitudinally extending groove, said last mentioned armfastened with an upwardly extending portion having an upper face formedwith a groove, and a coat supporting section having spaced lower andupper bars disposed in said first and second mentioned groovesrespectively whereby to secure said trouser supporting section theretofor support by said coat supporting section.

2. A hanger of the class described, comprising, a trouser supportingsection having a pair of horizontally extending pivoted arms forclamping and supporting trousers therebetween and one of said armsformed with a longitudinally extending groove, said last mentioned armfastened with an upwardly extending portion having an upper face formedwith a groove, and a coat supporting section having spaced lower andupper portions disposed in said first and second mentioned groovesrespectively whereby to secure said trouser supporting section theretofor support by said coat supporting section, and means fashioned on saidcoat supporting section for supporting the latter and said trousersupporting section in suspended condition.
